To Row at Pullman.

WORCESTER, Mass, May 13.-It has
been decided to row the Neutrality-suspicious.
race on the 30th inst, at Pullman, Ill.
CHICAGO, May 13.-Negotiations were
completed to-day by the Pullman Ath-
letic club, by which the Neutrality-suspicious.
sculling race for the championship of
America will take place at Pullman
May 80 instead of Baltimore as
first arranged. Gaudaur will complete
his training at Pullman, arriving there
early next week. In addition to the
bargain with Hanlan and Gaudaur, the
Pullman club signed important con-
tracts to-day with the Mississippi Valley
Amateur Rowing association and the
organization known as the Chicago
Navy. The Mississippi Valley Amateur
Rowing association engages that its next
annual regatta shall be held at Pullman,
the first to be this year, July Is and IL.
A regatta by the Chicago Navy, embrac-
ing twelve local clubs, will be rowed at
Pullman July 4. In order to secure the
various events named, the Pullman club
guarantees the expenditure of sufficient
funds of the Pullman course to make it
the finest in America

We congratulate the people of Min
neap0liS upon the excellent record that
has been made by their park commits
sion and the bright outlook for the flu
ture. We are glad to see. too. that the
Tribune OF that city favors the course
which the GLOBE has so long advocated
of making liberal provision for parks
now, instead of waiting until the rapidly
increasing value of land in the two
cities reaches such 4 point that sufficient
ground for park purposes cannot be Sc
cured except at enormous expense. The
GLOBE has time and again pointed out
this fact and indicated the favor with
which the people regard liberal ey-
penditureS for park purposes, but both
cities have seemed rather slow to act.
JudiciouS cooperation between the
two citieS would result in the finest park
in this country, excepting none, and
there is no time like the present for CO.
operation to take place. Midway be-
tween st. Paul and Minneapolis lies
stretch of country which for park pur-
poses is unsurpassed. Nature has done
SO much for it that art would have little
LiOlt W dcCOHl llilSll. w OO1Idlu. GOlltllS
grassland, interspersed with streams,
commanding bluffs and beautiful dellS
could all be embraced in the territory
that might be acquired and which would
go to make upa park without an equal.
Easy OF access from either city, it would
afford driveways from each unsurpassed.
The land is. of course, extremely valu-
able, but i'll comparison with the figure
at which it will be held a few years
hence it is none too dear.
Small and numerous parks within the
cities proper should undoubtedly be en-
cOuraged. but if the Twin Cities ever
intend establishing park on grander
scale, ndthere can be but one opinion
on that score, now is the time to go
about it. Nothing can be gained by de-
lay and much may be done by immedi-
late action.
1t will at least do no harm for the
proper authorities of the two cities to
consider and confer upon the matter,
and the GLOBE hopes that such con-
ference may soon be brought about.

WINoNA, May 13.-The Winona &
Southwestern Railroad company have
accepted proposition from RESPONSE
BILE parties to construct railroad from
iWinona to Mason City, Ia, to be COM
pleted and fully equipped by Jan. /,
1889. Seventy-fve miles of the road are
to be built and equipped from Winona
by Jan. |, 1888. The conditions of the
contract are that the city of Winona will
vote a subsidy of 100000 of its bonds
and that the citizens will subscribe
100000 on the first mortgage bonds.
The matter OF special election will be
brought before the city council on Mon
day evening and an ordinance will
doubtless be passed at that time for
special election to take place as soon as
practicable, to decide upon the question
of the bonus. The general sentiment
among the business men of WinOna
is that the bonus will be voted without
doubt. There has been some talk of
the laboring men opposing it, but it is
thought that when the great benefits the
construction of the road will bring to
the city of Winona are appreciated, the
question Will be decided by large ma
jority for the bonus. The contract pro-
videS for the location of the shops. gen
eral offices and terminal facilities at
Win0na. The parties taking the con-
tract are to determine the route to Ma
son City, which will probably be practi-
cally as heretofore mentioned in the
GLOBE. WinOnans are elated over the
steps taken, and general boom is eX-
pected. Secretary Simpson, of the
Southwestern company, Says the matter
of subscribing 100000 for first mort
gage bonds has been fully discussed, and
there would be no trouble in securing
the amount from capitalists of this city.
If Winona votes bonus the bonds will
not be required to be handed over until
twenty miles of the road are constructed.
1t is said that, should the proposition
for subsidy be Endorsed by the people
of this city, engineers will be sent out
within five days thereafter to locate the
line and commence work. 1t is rumored
here, apparently with authority, that
the building of this road southwest from
Win0na was but a link in the conStruc-
ton of trunk line from the SauIt Ste.
Marie to the Missouri river. The Mason
City q Fort Dodge railway, recently
constructed, would be an outlet and con-
nectiOn to the southwest for the Winona
d Southwestern, and the former road
has already taken steps looking to the
extension of its line from Fort Dodge
to the Missouri river.

STRAY sUNBEAMs.

1t is pity for the sake Of Gen.
GRANTS memory that the civil proceed
ingS in the case Of the old banking firm
of GRANT 81 WARD could not be brought
to an end and the case be forever dis
missed from public view. But the law
yerS have not yet succeeded in getting
all the milk out of it, and the case con-
tinues to drag its slow length along
somewhat after the Jarndyce fashion.
Investigations before the referee show
that profits were credited to the various
members of the firm of nearly S5OO,O0O
each Oh the original investments, rang
ing from $4,000 to 100000, and that
FISH had drawn out nearly so per cent.
of his profits. There has no evidence
been adduced as yet to show that the
GRANTS ever got ANYTHING.
Gen. GRANTS inability to get any
thing did not cease with his death. He
has been dead long time now, and still
is not able to get monument to his
memory. And the more shame it is to
the American people. that it is so.
Somebody made an awful balk in fix
ing up the inscriptions for the GARFIELD
monument. On the southeast face of
the shaft is inscribed ''Major General,
U. S. A. Member of Congress, Senator
and President" Any school boy in tn
land would have known that it ought to
have read "Major General U. S. A,
Member of the National House of Rep
resentatives, Senator-Elect and Presi-
dent.'

Murphy,s skirts Are Clear.

In the issue of the GLOBE of May 6,
there appeared short letter from Bath
gate, Oak, addressed to the editor, re-
ferring to the probable selection of. ex-
Gov. Pierce as president of the North
Dakota university. In this letter there
were some rather serious structures upon
the Grand Forks Plaindealer. In justice
to w. j. Murphy the editor of that pa
per, the GLOBE desires to say that it
does not indorse or approve of the Ian
guage or intent of the article, so far as
it relates to that gentleman, and it re-
grets that such an article was printed in
its columns. 1t was the assertion of a
correspondent-and not the GLOBE; still
it is unfortunate that through an over
sight of an employe the author of the
article should have found a chance to
vent his spleen. The GLOBE does not
intend that its columns shall be used
for such purpose, and it will take care
hereafter to see that it is not imposed
liDOn.

A SwindIer,s Profits.

CHICAGO, May 13.-T. S. Gardner and
his wife Lottie, proprietors of the Farm
Journal and the Farm Album, were be-
fore Commissioner HOyne this morning,
charged with fraudulently using the
mails. He is said to have advertised
that he would send the Farm Journal
for year, together with a handsome
book OF engravingS, on the receipt of
4S cents. When one sent the IS cents
he received January copy of the
paper, together with q book full of
stock engravings, the total value of the
outfit being about cents. He also re-
ceived circulars showing how he could
easily make an enormous sum by get
ting up clubs. Every days mail used
TO bring Gardner from $50 to 200 letters
containing the names OF subscribers in
clubs of from two to twenty. Another
feature was the promise in the adver-
tiSement that when the subscription list
reached certain number he would lend
to any subscriber money at per cent.
A number of witnesses from all sections
OF the country were present, and testi-
fed for the government. The post
office inspector estimates the receipts
of the firm at something like $40, GOO.

dette once before the latter could make

ball went through the fleshy part of
Burdette's left side just above the

shot Burdette Spfang up and swing
ing Ratchet in his right hand, turned
his left side to Couch. The pistol
cracked and the ball pierced Burdettes
body just below the left nipple and
ranged around his chest, lodging some
where under his left arm. Almost stimuli
taneously with the shot Burdette sent
the blade of the Ratchet into COUGHS

MINNEAPOLIS NEWS.
UNDER THE COMMISSION. n
How Minneapolis Gets Along With
Eiyn EyannfiunS


Since the police commission took
charge of the city government there
seems, to be change in the spectacular
methods of the Republican papers, and
the Specter is no longer held up as IA
bugaboo. Further than this there seems
to be a disposition on the the part of the
police officials to keep things quiet,
in order that the public may
appreciate the great change which
has been wrought by the police
commission. 1t appears, however, that
the occurrences which formerly were
utilized for senatorial purposes have not
altogether ceased. Last night a
gentleman and lady who were
driving in the vicinity of
Lakewood cemetery, were stopped by
two highwaymen, who caught hold of
the horses. The gentleman happened
to have a revolver and commenced
firing, when the highwaymen took
to the fields. Thursday night
there was pleasant social occasion at
Central park, during which half
dozen revolver shots were exchanged.
Tuesday night citizen from St.
Paul drove up to residence,
and, revolver in hand and blood in his
eye. demanded his wife. A policeman
was called and there was quite COM
motion, but no details as to what
it was all about could be learned.
When it looked as though fire bugs
were going to to have apicnic with the
city early Friday morning Mayor Ames
appeared at police headquarters and
ordered several details made
or the protection of the
f anufacturing districts. The SUI
superintendent of police was of course
at home and the headquarters was in
charge of telephone operator. The
mayor said yesterday that this would be
his last appearance in the role of
our executive further than to act in his
capacity as a police commissioner.
Hereafter when emergencies arise the
commissioners will be summoned from
their homes to hold meetings
to decide what instructions shall
be given to the superintendent The
eXpediency OF placing telephones in the
houses of the commissioners was dis
cussed at yesterdays meeting of the
board, and it is likely that this will be
done at an aDrly date
